Frequently asked questions

What insurance do market traders need?
Market traders need public liability (most markets require a minimum of £5m), products liability if you sell goods, stock and equipment cover, and employers' liability if you have staff. Some markets also require specific event insurance.
Does market trader insurance cover multiple locations?
Yes. A good market trader policy covers you at any UK market, fair, or pop-up location—not just one pitch. Check that your policy doesn't restrict you to named venues only.
Is pop-up shop insurance different from market stall cover?
Pop-up shops in fixed premises may need additional cover for the building, contents, and a longer liability period. Market stall cover is designed for temporary outdoor pitches. We can arrange either or both.
